This is an interesting question. Continuous improvement has been my thing for awhile. I've spent real introspection on regrets over the years, and one thing that I've realized is regrets change.

I used to regret ****ing up some opportunities with some ladies that I blew because I was ****ing dumb/obtuse/scared. Hard for me to regret that now with my wife and kids being for better than I deserve. I don't really regret that stuff now. I admit it would have been fun and still wish I'd not been ****tarded. But I don't really regret it.

I used to regret missing out some career stuff early on. That seems like a fart in the wind now. Almost never even think about it now with my current business. And almost no impact on my life.

Regrets change.

Currently, I have some regrets on my current business, missing out on some shit because I am ****ing dumb/obtuse/scared. I'm going to have to wear some of that for awhile, because I'm going to be here for a bit.

I also harbor some regrets for letting some relationships fall to the wayside with some legitimately good people. I understand relationships go 2 ways, but the value from maintaining close, healthy relationships with good people carries far too much value.

I also have some pretty serious regrets for focusing on the work in my business as opposed to building a network. At some point, I bought into the idea that the work speaks for itself, and I'd like to believe it does on some level, but that's ****ing hogshit. People make decisions based on people. And it's cost me pretty substantially over the course of time.

Maybe all those regrets will fade with time, but but that's where I am now.

Interestingly, some things I don't regret, that a lot of people do.

I don't regret working hard. Economic security matters. I fully acknowledge that I haven't fully achieved economic security, but I'm well on the way and the equity I've accumulated ****ing matters. Financial stress is hard on your dude. I've been there and am not looking to climb back into that boat.

I don't necessarily regret waiting to have kids. The shit I was worried about was bullshit, and we would have been fine to have them earlier, but again, economic security matters, and probably at some level maturity matters too. It would have been fine, but I don't regret waiting.

I don't have any regrets w/r/t my family. I think I've done right by everyone involved, and more importantly, I think I fully grasp the impact of the selflessness that some members of my family have engaged in. I think I see the world pretty clearly in that regard, and don't harbor any regrets.

Interesting thread to read and ponder. Thanks dudes.
